“My compound.”

“Stop dragging me along, dammit.” Kit yanked his arms away from both the dragons who were holding him. He had a feeling they let him do that. They had managed to get Kit out of the nightclub before he had even realized it. “Your what now?”

Hudson faced Kit. “You were targeted. I need to get you to safety.”

“Yeah, I’m aware. I was there,” Kit snapped. “And we need to talk about that too, because fuck me sideways, you’re not going to believe who I just saw.”

The sexy dragon next to Hudson made a low rumbling sound.

“That can wait until we get you to safety,” the dragon who made the rumbling sound growled. He was breathing heavily, and that rumbling was growing louder.

Kit glared at him. Why the hell was that dragongrowlingat him? Did he not understand the kind of night Kit was having? “And just who are you?”

“My name is Conrad. I’m Hudson’s right hand.”

Kit eyed the other dragon uneasily. He was practically hyperventilating, his eyes had changed color, and his skin seemed to be fading to a sickly grayish white. And shit. Were those horns sprouting from his head? Crap. Hadn’t he seen Hudson do something similar?

“Connie?” Hudson grabbed Connie’s arm. “Get control. Now.”

“I’m trying. Fuck, I amtrying,Hudson, but I… I can smell….”

Kit jumped when Hudson suddenly grabbed the other dragon by his chin. “Connie. Look. At. Me.”

“Y-yes, Your Majesty.”

“You will not shift.”

Kit blinked. He might be human, but even he felt the power rolling through those words. His damn knees went weak, and his cock chose that inappropriate time to take an interest in the situation. What the hell was going on with him?

Connie shuddered. “Yes, y-yes, Your Majesty.” Connie closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. Finally, he opened them again. “Fuck, that’s unpleasant. My entire body hurts now, and I feel like I’ve been pulled through a keyhole sideways, but thanks.”

“I’m so sorry.”

“I know, but it had to be done, Hudson.”

Kit had no idea what was going on, but their entire interaction seemed… personal. Almost intimate. Then they both turned their searing gazes to him, and Kit took a step back before he caught himself.

Holy shit.

Kit’s cock twitched, and the dragon named Connie…. Well, Kit would swear on a stack of Bibles that Connie’s eye also twitched. Heat washed over Kit as he was dragged into the intensity flowing between the two dragons.

Kit’s body caught fire as he imagined being pinned between the two of them, kissing, sucking, and—

“By Gaura,” Connie whispered. “What are you thinking? I can smell your—”

“Nox attacked me just now in the nightclub,” Kit blurted, desperate to stop Connie from finishing that sentence. He could well imagine what Connie was smelling. Didn’t paranormals have heightened senses?

“What?” Hudson roared.

Oddly enough, it sounded like the roar Kit had heard in the nightclub. That certainly took care of Kit’s inconvenient erection.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN –HUDSON

HUDSON WAS going to kill something. Or someone. When he’d gotten the call Kit was going out, his stomach had dropped, and he’d immediately grabbed Connie so they could get to that damn club. Now that they knew who Kit was to them, of course they’d be there.

They’d arrived and walked into chaos. Gods help him if a fucking hunter crossed his path right then, he’d charbroil them and wouldn’t think twice about it.

Someone had targeted Kit, and indirectly, Leo, since Leo had been basically acting as a bodyguard. Leo had been unable to use his full strength during the fight since he was surrounded by the fucking humans, and things had gone to shit quickly.
